PETE'S PANDEMIC

This  is all of our stories yet none of our stories.

It is one man’s attempt to understand the new reality caused by the coronavirus.

We all have had to come to terms with very different lives.

This is Jimmy Tolmie’s attempt to manage his stress through humour, reflection, philosophy, reminiscence and current events.

At times self-conscious, periodically stream-of-consciousness, occasionally controversial, Jimmy has struggled to find a way out of his stress through the medium of daily writings to friends.

His book reflects 100 days of quarantine and then lockdown. It is an attempt to find common ground, to emerge on the other side with ethics and equanimity intact.

It is hoped that the reader will find some point of contact between his or her own perspectives and those of the writer.

Fatal Frailties

This is the calamitous, at times hilarious, story of Detective Inspector Doddie Macfarlane’s attempt to lead his chaotic team of homicide detectives in their mission to solve the mysterious murder of much-loved pediatrician Dr. George Ross. His Inverness-based team is led on many a wild goose chase throughout the beauty of the Scottish Highlands before stumbling on the most unlikely of scenarios. You will laugh aloud at the antics of the police psychiatrist, Dr. Martin “Mental” Nunn, and be aghast at the black humour of “Deadpan” Dick McIvor, the pathologist.

There is also the driven DS Monica Richards, the disastrous constables Smith and Davidson, and the shy Ulsterman Dermot Long. This is an amusing romp at the bottom of which is a tragic murder.
